More than 25 years ago, retired music executive Joe Smith accomplished a Herculean feat -- he got more than 200 celebrated singers, musicians and industry icons to talk about their lives, music, experiences and contemporaries. In 2012 Smith donated this treasure trove of unedited sound recordings to the nation's library.

This series is amazing. You’ve got to check out this particular one where Burt literally chews food for an hour while he talks to Joe.  How do you chew for that long?  Hilarious. I love this series.

Burt Bacharach chews for an hour

Nice, interesting series.  Adding Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull would be great.

No JETHRO TULL??!!
